Activities

Walking & Rambling

The Watkin Path up Snowdon starts very close to the hostel. The hostel itself overlooks Llyn Gwynant - great for low level walking with Snowdon providing a stunning backdrop. YHA Bryn Gwynant is in 42 acres of land, most of it woodland, so there are plenty of trails in the hostel grounds - perfect for families.

Climbing

There are many local crags within easy walking distance in the area, so you won’t have to walk far before you can start climbing. One of the more famous climbing areas at Tremadog is just a short drive away. Watkin Pass is within easy walking distance or just a 2 minute drive along the road.

Watersports

Take to the water and canoe on Llwyn Gwynant to appreciate the true beauty of the lake. You can either bring your own gear, or try one of the local companies that offer instruction and equipment hire.

Meet the Manager

Manager recommends: A nice contrast to on-the-go activity breaks and walking holidays, the quiet calm of sunset over the lake is a perfect end to any day. Set in 40 acres of wooded grounds with stunning views over Llyn Gwynant and Snowdon, a Snowdonia national park holiday in this beautiful rural retreat would make a marvellous family break.
